A business owns premises it needs to occupy and capital it needs to deploy. Selling and leasing back releases the value.
The risk is that the sale completes and the lease terms turn out to be weaker than assumed — a shorter term, an aggressive rent review, or repair obligations the seller never carried as owner.
Sale and Leaseback Documentation
Sale and leaseback documentation — the sale agreement and the leaseback negotiated together, covering lease term and renewal, rent and review mechanism, repair and reinstatement, assignment and subletting, and the conditions linking the two transactions.
Your Vision, Backed by the Right Legal Support
You build the business. We help you protect it.

Important: Limited Slots
Leaseback terms must be settled before the sale completes. Afterwards the buyer is the landlord, and the leverage has moved entirely.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Legal That Works?
Legal That Works is a business and organisation oriented legal service designed by Messrs Akmal Saufi & Co (the firm that has brought the widely known legal consumer services brand ASCOLAW). We specifically help business owners and organisation leadership to navigate Malaysia’s legal terrain to achieve their commercial goal.
What if I’m not sure what legal service I need?
No problem. Most business owners aren’t legal experts! Just reach out. Our team will guide you to the right service or help you understand your options—without jargon or upselling.
Should the sale and lease be negotiated together?
Yes, always. Agreeing the sale first leaves you negotiating occupation with someone who already owns your premises.
How long should the leaseback run?
Long enough to protect the business, which is usually longer than a buyer will offer initially.
What are the tax consequences?
There can be real property gains tax and stamp duty implications. We will flag them and recommend specialist tax input where needed.
Who will be helping me?
All our services are delivered by our licensed lawyers under the Malaysian Bar with proven experience across industries. You’ll work with a real legal team, not chatbots or generic customer support.
